Deuteronomy 9:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹ I was afraid^[a] He was so violently angry with you that He’d destroy you, as He said He would. But one more time, the Eternal One listened to me, and He spared you. ²⁰ I had to pray particularly for Aaron because the Eternal was furious with him for making the idol—He would have killed my brother! ²¹ I took the calf idol you made, that embodiment of your sin, and I burned it up. Then I crushed what was left, ground it into tiny pieces until it was as fine as dust, and threw the dust into the riverbed that rushes down the mountain.
